.Application filed Uetober 15, 19530. Serial No. 417,110.

To all 'io/olii t muy oon/cervi.

Be it known that l, lii-iNNn'ri-r nl. ldwrnn, a Citizen of the United .il-lieten, ond resident o'l li/liol'iigiin (fity, county oi importe, and State of Indiana, have invented Certain new and nso'lul luiproveniente Vehicle Sash Doors, olf which the tolloiving ie fi specification, and which are illustrated in the aeeon'ipanyini drawings, iorn'iing a part thereoil".

The invention relates to .ieh doors with special relation to doors of vehicles and has as an ohjeit the provision oil a simple orm ol door in Whieh the sash may be lowered and in which the glane, ae Well as the sash as a whole, will be prevented Afrom rattling.

An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the aeoompan'ying drawings, in which Fig. l is a Afront View of a` Completed door with the sash raised;

Fig. 2 is a vertical. section on lino of Fig. l;

3 is a front View of a Sash from the exterior 5 Figs. 41.-. 5 and 6 are detail sections on the Corresponding, lines on Fig. Sil, but d 1awn to an enlarged scale, and

Fig. 7 is a detail section drawn to an enlarged scale talren on line 7--7 oi? Fig. 1, showing' the snel] in a lowered position.

The sash 10 is shown in Figs. 3 to 6 as formed of two sheet metal trames 11, 12, each having a llange 153 and 111 extending at a right angle lroin its outside edge at each margin. Une flange, :is 141-, is designed to telescope Within the other flange, as 13, to produce the complete sash frame. The inner margine of each tranne are deflected inwardly at an angle, ns et 15, 16, to malte oontaet with the glass 17. The iranien, 11. 12, are shown as secured together by Screw fastening's 1li. comprising en exteriorly threaded machine screw 19 and en interiorly threaded nut 20, both project-ing Within the Jframe and preferably having; their heads eo-untersunk as by inward deflection of the material of the traine about the screw holen. The hea-d of both the sereni' and the nut ie slotted for eoaetion with screw driver.

To hold the glass 17 in position, soft rubber cushions 21 and 22 are utilized. These cushions are :mede large enough to require squeezing into place end therefore exert pressure on the edges of the glass 'from each direction. The Cushions 29; are pierced Yfor passage of the screw liosteniniije 18. To prevent rattling of the sh in the door the cushions 21 have a. subetai'itinl-ly s@ iispherieal knob 23 projecting from one oonea've depression 211; in the other. Holes 25 are formed in the .traine l2 tlirougl which the knobs 23 project when the sneh is assembled. The depressione :l-1 allow the lrnobe 23 to be presoed inwardlj,lv to n greater extent than the olaetirity ot the inni-uff; ol' the enehion 21 would itselil permit.

llo retain the sash Il() in itsl raised position end to prees the bottoni olf the sash outwardly eo that the lower knobs 255 will be pressed a goin et the inner surlziee oil. the door panel 26, outwardly elopingj lips 27 are provided 'which may7 he struck out from the ma.- terial ot the sash 'traine member 12. AS shown at 2S, each ot the margins of the .ifindow opening 29 in the` door 30 turned slightly inward. l/Vhen the sash 10 is raised the lips 2'? seat over the lower margin of the Window openingand urge the sash outward. The projection ot knobs Q53 is greater than the inward delieetion ot the side niar- ,Qfins 28 of the window opening and these knobs will therefore cushion the sash Within the door.

lhe door 3l) muy he ronstrueted an dis- Veloied in an application 'for eab door. .tiled by inyeell of even dote herewith. and having; Serial No. L119.1053, tiled (let. 1h20. lo hold the top ol the sash in place out` WerdliY against the inner surface el the enter panel spring' clips may he secured. as by rivets. to the top nien'il ot the door trame. The ('lipe -ilA are termed rifith outwardlj.' turned tips Px! behind which the sash lll unify be loroeil when it is reiietl. fl. handle 3? in' f-ieoure-rl Ylio the inner eide oil" the upper portion oil the sash. shown, the handle han e down-- nzi-rdly and outwardly sloping.; in ein 5341- adapted to hoolr over the upper margin of the inner panel 35., forn'iing the inner lower marit-jin of the Window opening, when the sesh is lowered, shown in 7.

A. piece of angle iron 36 is secured to the inner Surface of the panel 26 for inoreased Stili'ness. Spring clips Si', siiniler'to elips 31, are secured to the panel above the angle iron 36 to press the sash with the cushion knobs 23 outwardly against the panel when lll() the sash islowered. The space between the lower margin of the window opening 29 and the upper margin of the inner panel 35 must be sulicient to allow the lips 27 to pass in the rear of the margin 29 after slightly lifting the sash, in order that the sash may be lowered.

I claim as my invention 1. A sash comprising, in combination, spaced sash members adapted to be pressed against opposite sides of a pane of glass, oney of said members having a hole therein, a cushion member adapted to form a seat for the edge of said glass, a knob on said cushion rojecting through Said hole, to cushion the sash against lateral jars.

2'.y A sash comprising, in combination. spaced sash members adapted to be pressed against opposite sides of a pane of glass, one of said members having holes in some of its sides, cushion members between said sashv members adapted to act as seats for the edges of said pane of glass, knobs on some of said cushions projecting through said holes, others of said cushion members having holes therethrough and clamping devices passed through said last named cushion members and through the sides of said frame members.

3. A sash comprising, in combination, a frame7 a pane of glass mounted in said frame, an outwardlyand downwardly projecting wing on the lower rail of said frame adapted to seat upon the lower edge of a window opening when the sash is raised and an outwardly and downwardly projecting wing on the upper rail of said frame adapted to seat upon the lower edge of the wlndow opening when the sash is lowered.

4. A sash comprising, in combination, a frame, a pane of glass mounted in said frame7 an angle plate having the upper portion of one ot its parts secured upon the upper rail of said frame and the lower portion thereof projecting outwardly and downwardly to seat upon the lower edge of the window opening when the sash is low` ered, the other part of the angle plate projeeting outwardly from the upper edge of the first mentioned part to serve as a handle for raising the sash.
